Icons are images, the same as all other images. You just assign the image you want to a transparent button, for whatever hilite type you wish. I'm sorry to disappoint you if you were expecting something more complicated, but that's really about all there is it.
Have fun ;+)
Ken, thanks, but I know icons are images. However I'm trying to attach appropriate families of icons to my standalone and its documents on the various platforms, so that (for example) the user sees a unique icon to double-click to start the app, either directly or by double-clicking an associated document. For me, buttons aren't involved at all. My problem is discovering what the OS expects in the way of icon families to represent the different types of display of an app or a file (in a list, on the desktop, in use, on a 16-color display etc.), and then how to create such families either in Rev or some other way.
Since writing my mail, I have downloaded the Mac shareware Iconographer from www.mscape.com. This looks like tremendous value, because it explains a lot about icon families, and it can even generate Windows-compatible application icons, including the newer standard used by Windows XP, as well as conventional Mac icons for pre-X and X. It's the nearest to a cookbook that I've come so far.
